Broke messaging by removing badge provider

I backed up badgeprovider.apk and removed it. A week or so later I noted that it broke SMS. Ok, not much of a loss, but still somewhat important. I could not get it to badgeprovider.apk to re-install.

I uninstalled messaging, and installed the replacement from the Samsung store. It works just fine.

I thought I would pass that tip on.

I removed the Samsung push service, but Samsung keeps re-installing it. Any suggestions?
